Hello all, first post

Right to the point.
Is there a way to mod a ts9 so that no clean signal comes through?
Please and thank you
God bless

Like Phatt says.
Or, essentially, even easier. Just keep it stock. There is no mixing stage or similar where dirty and clean are mixed or something. Therefore, when engaged, all signal is dirty. It's just not dirty enough for your taste I'm afraid.
Sorry. Plain out of planes.

One thing I like to do to them is to convert the clipping opamp into an inverting stage. This will cut the clean bleed way back. It can be a little tricky to do, but pretty easy in the ts10 and takes just minutes in the EH East River. A little more saturation, compression, and less "clutter" in the low end. A slight loss in volume and attack because the clean transients are not coming through. It's easy to get the volume back with a tweak to the diode clamps.

I prefer to replace the clipping diodes with 3mm red LEDs....
